Maglite 3D Cree on special again

[Wortho]

I see that Hardly Normals has the Maglite 3D Cree LED torch on special again for $29 + delivery ($15 CAP). I picked one up last time and the output and build construction is pretty impressive for $29, its a big torch though that takes 3X D size batts so not pocket size that's for sure.

You can also pick up from their outlet in Auburn to save postage.

Another one for the "what cheeses me off" file.....Any gadget that takes three (3) batteries!!!!

Why can you only buy batteries in multiples of four?

[Muso]

It's called marketing.  If an item required 3 batteries to run, you produce packs of four. If an item need 4 batteries to run, you produce packs of 3. Must have been created by Woolworths the greedy people.

[MrCruza]

The good bit is in this torch the batteries last forever

Another of Gerry's scam marketing ideas, or did they actually advertise that you can only get this from one store this time

Good price except when you have to pay the postage too......

Fantastic price, even after you add the postage .......... I bought two on Wednesday night and they were delivered today. Have you checked the ebay prices???

It was actually cheaper for me to buy two of these than it would have been to do an upgrade to LED on my 4 x D cell Maglite ... if I could still buy the upgrade kit for the 4 x D.

BTW, thanx for the heads up Wortho

I used my LED Maglite the other day and realised the old non LED Maglites need to be retired. Has anybody found a reasonable LED upgrade for them? I can't bare to chuck them in the bin.

I have one too but still use it around the house. Have a Led Lenser in truck.

I know. I have an old 6D "baseball bat" that runs halogens. Love to LED it,but when i picked up a 3D LED for $35 at the big green toolbox, it hardly seems worth payng for the upgrade anymore

Yea, it's sad aye. I have one mounted in the back of the car. Looks good but not much good.

[Squalo]

I'd keep the old Maglights, you never know when you might need one.

Thanks, I didn't know Bunnos sold Maglite's. Looks like I'll get a couple to replace my trusty old 4D & 6D. The 3D I bought on a COTD special kills them.

What he said!   

[AdrianLR]

Got one too. The torch alone in Bunnings is $37 so with batteries is very good value.

[cruisindub]

What do you do with the extra D cell?

Buy two and your still one short?

Pretty good value at less than $30.......................

[berlitza]

Brilliant, what the hell am I suppose to do with the old one, wonder if I would get 30bux for it on feralbay
